the other day we went and visited the Hogar de Ancianos.  the nursing home here in san juan. it broke my heart. sometimes there aren´t any nurses. it´s dirty and it smells. some of the people can´t get out of bed. they´re just put there to die. working there is one of our internship options. and while my heart broke for the people, Im not sure I´m called there. I feel really strongly toward teaching an english class for adult beginners and one for more advanced adults. it would be super hard and completely out of my comfort zone, but God´s been telling me that he doesn´t call us to do the things that we are naturally good at. He calls us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through his grace. and that his power is made perfect in weakness. to rely on his strengths and not my own abilities.

please be praying for my team. God´s working in us and sometimes it can be really tough.

I¨m going home in 9 days for my sister´s wedding and I´m super excited to eat some Big Boy and other good restaurant food. I bought her wedding present too. I want it for me.

I don´t know what else to say. I´m excited to see miguel, too :) we only to get to talk 2 or 3 times a week for maybe 5 minutes at a time, so it´ll be nice to have a real conversation with him. I pray God´s working in him as much as he is in me.

thanks, also for all the extra support I just got in. I´ll use it buy my plane ticket back to the DR in January for the second semester.

love you guys! tell my mom and dad you love them too, cause I think they miss me :) and will miss my sister soon, too
